Built in the 1960s, the Vajont Dam was once the world's tallest double-curve arch dam. But beyond its engineering marvel, it's known for the tragic event of 1963. A massive landslide plunged into the reservoir, causing an enormous wave to overtop the dam, devastating the towns below and claiming over 2,000 lives. Today, the dam remains intact, but the reservoir is no longer in use. The site serves as a somber reminder of the tragedy, with a memorial and museum dedicated to the event and its victims.
